“I’m sorry for being your parent”... A grandmother’s tearful confession in Yeongju

A video capturing the story of Jang Byeong-sun, met amidst the natural scenery of a mountain village in Yeongju, Gyeongbuk, has been released. During the visit by Yoo Jae Suk and Jo Se Ho, Jang poured out her deep affection and apologies toward her children, touching the hearts of viewers.

“Thinking of my children makes me cry”... A mother's heart filled with regret

Looking out at the beautiful scenery of the village, Jang expressed her longing for her children. She shared that whenever her family visits during holidays and then leaves, "once they are gone, I can do nothing but cry," adding that looking at the mountains makes her heart ache as if time has passed in vain. In particular, regarding her children's inability to visit often due to their busy lives, she could not hide her regret, saying, "I am truly sorry for leaving so often." While she reassured her children that she held no resentment toward them, she expressed sincere apology for feeling as though she failed to support them enough as a parent and only burdened them with worries.

She sent a message to her eldest son, saying, "I am sorry for leaving your mother alone in this mountain village and only giving you worries. Always live healthily and happily." To her daughters, she conveyed her tender feelings, saying, "I am sorry I couldn't support your education all the way through high school. Even regarding your marriage timing, I made it so you couldn't live comfortably because you were only worrying about your parental home." Finally, she repeatedly expressed her apologies to her daughters, saying, "Mother has nothing to say to you and is only leaving behind sins. In the future, just be a family that is happy, blessed, and always smiling," while urging them not to simply drift through life.

“Thank you, my grandchildren”... The reliable shield of a grandmother

Behind her apologies to her children lay an infinite love for her grandchildren. Calling out the names of her grandchildren—Dong-jun, Min-su, and Seol-bi—one by one, she prayed for their well-being, saying, "Thank you so much for growing up to be good children and studying hard. Just live focusing on your work."

The cast members present at the scene shared the emotional bond provided by a grandmother. They recalled how a grandmother serves as a reliable shield in life, mentioning the sense of security they felt by her side during childhood and memories of being carried on a grandmother's back to the hospital when they were sick. This stood in contrast to the apologies Jang expressed to her children, demonstrating a deep intergenerational bond.

“We are your family”... Warm greetings delivered through gifts

At the end of the conversation, Yoo Jae Suk and Jo Se Ho presented Chuseok gifts to Jang. Through a lucky draw format, items such as a fish backpack, a traditional Italian pizza set, a massager, and a set of Hanwoo beef and dried yellow croaker were featured. While receiving the gifts, Jang expressed her gratitude, saying, "I will consider this as a gift brought by a family of strangers from Seoul." Yoo Jae Suk and Jo Se Ho created a heartwarming atmosphere by shaking hands with her and saying, "We are your family."

Finally, recalling her late husband, Jang expressed her longing for him, saying, "You could not see anything before you left, but I am living this long and seeing my children settled." Yoo Jae Suk and Jo Se Ho left the village after wishing her, "Please always be happy and healthy.'
